Details
A seamlessly scrollable, illustrated storybook that brings Lemon by Motojirō Kajii to life. The deep, moody color palette mirrors the story’s quiet sorrow, while the bright contrast of the lemon against the fragile lungs of the ailing protagonist becomes a powerful visual thread—one that lingers, much like the story itself, in the space between fragility and defiance.
This project was a labor of love, a way to keep my hands moving and my creativity breathing beyond the structure of work. It became a quiet ritual—sketching, refining, letting ideas unfold naturally, without the weight of deadlines or constraints. A reminder that sometimes, the most fulfilling work is the kind that simply asks to be created.
